Introduced for 2007, the Pontiac G5 coupe is virtually identical to the Chevrolet Cobalt, which has been around since 2005. The G5 is only offered as a coupe, and is available in base and GT trims. For 2008, the G5 receives standard satellite radio and standard side curtain airbags, as well as added standard features on the GT trim. The G5 competes with other compacts, such as the Ford Focus, Scion tC and Honda Civic.  Read More
